PC CoD4 vs Console CoD4

I know I said I would be writing about Minecraft, but I figured I can write about other stuff sometimes too. After all, not everyone likes Minecraft. Hopefully you guys enjoy this post about good old Modern Warfare.

        Oooh. New font :P So anyway... I play CoD 4 on PC. I used to play it on the XBox 360 back when it was new. I eventually got bored, I had around 27 days played, I was 10th prestiege(but so was pretty much everybody else), and I had most of the challenges done. Then a couple years later I got into PC gaming, got Steam, and the first game I bought was CoD 4. It was fun all over again, but this time it was more fun because of all the mods that are available. I mean you wouldn't believe the kinds of servers that are out there. Sometimes I honestly can't believe I'm even playinga Call of Duty. There are paintball mods, zombie mods, you name it. On PC you have a lot more control over the games you own. You feel more like you actually own the game. You can go in to the game files and edit things, like what level you are. But there is a much easier way to do it; just download the exe, run it(it works instantly, there is no need to do or install anything), and BAM! You're level 55 with all the gold guns, and all challenges complete! Incase you guys didn't know, there is no prestiege in the PC edition of Call of Duty 4. I'm not sure why.


              On XBox, people pay anywhere from $50-$150 for a modded controller just so they can shoot rapid fire with their semi-automatic weapons. On PC you just download a little file, run it, and you have rapid fire. And it's free!

          The main difference I noticed when I switched over, is that there is pretty much no way to tell two people apart on CoD4. You can make your name whatever the hell you want it to be, including characters like #%!@(*). Even if it's already taken. So it's impossible to party up with anybody, because you can't invite them - there's no friends list! But I mean you get to choose which server you join( as is the case with pretty much every online PC game), so it's not a big deal. But I wonder how GameBattles would work. You couldn't tell if the other players even belonged to the team you were supposed to be playing. Maybe they don't even have GB for CoD4 on PC? I don't know. I just play casually.

        Here's what I did to take advantage of being able to edit the game files:



Another new font, let me know which one you guys like the best.
I edited the m40 image file and pretty much just put random abstract colors everywhere, and this was the result. I think it looks pretty awesome, I did the G3 too. With the G3 I did a black and green effect, kind of like camo. I might do a tutorial on editing your gun files Would you guys be interested in that?


Peace.

  3. I definitely prefer the PC, it's just natural when playing a shooter (anyone else need to do that because of CS) I also have a good computer, so yeah

  9. If you care about mods and good graphics then go PC, if you want to have some fun and don't give a shit then go Xbox360. I prefer the latter, but to each their own.
